Toby Zinman of The Philadelphia Inquirer: "I am, frankly, mystified: What is this play's purpose? Who is its intended audience? On the one hand, it seems to be a stroll down memory lane for homosexual men of a certain pre-Stonewall age. On the other hand, it seems to be a history lesson, a kind of after-school special for those heterosexuals who know about gay men only by the stereotypes that feed prejudice and homophobia and assume they are promiscuous, body-obsessed show queens who adore Barbra Streisand and Judy Garland. But instead of dispelling these stereotypes, the show trades on them. We meet many characters, of many ages, but they don't talk about their jobs, apparently read no books except the Bible, never go to the movies, never vote in elections or discover restaurants, or read newspapers, or go to museums, or play sports, or worry about the state of the world. Their only conversational subject is their own homosexuality."
